Subject: hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization
Patch series "hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for better synchronization".
These patches are a follow up to the RFC,
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181024045053.1467-1-mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx
Comments made by Naoya were addressed.
There are two primary issues addressed here:
1) For shared pmds, huge PE pointers returned by huge_pte_alloc can
become invalid via a call to huge_pmd_unshare by another thread.
2) hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncation causing invalid
global reserve counts and state.
Both issues are addressed by expanding the use of i_mmap_rwsem.
These issues have existed for a long time. They can be recreated with a
test program that causes page fault/truncation races. For simple
mappings, this results in a negative HugePages_Rsvd count. If racing with
mappings that contain shared pmds, we can hit "BUG at
fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:444!" or Oops! as the result of an invalid memory
reference.
I broke up the larger RFC into separate patches addressing each issue.
Hopefully, this is easier to understand/review.
This patch (of 3):
While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table. Consider the following:
A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep. Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.
Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file. As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped. If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called. For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd. If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse. This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.
To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling. In addition, callers
of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with the
ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called.
